Flowers of Hawaii

 A trip to the tropics wouldn't be complete without pictures of the incredibly beautiful flowers!

Some are familiar,

except that we try our hardest to grow them inside,

and here they are everywhere!

 Hibiscus of every colour...

 and every shade.

 Entire hedges of gardenias with their beautiful scent.

  And then there are those flowers that you don't recognize...

  I marveled at these red flowers every time we walked by them.

 Then there were these pink ones...

 and others that didn't even look like flowers!

 This one is called, 'Pink Quill', 

easy to see why,

but where do those delicate purple flowers come from?

I wonder if this one is also called some sort of quill?

 These didn't even look real,

and then there was the verbena which was found everywhere!
